The amount payable on the mortgage of the property and its interest will have no impact on the capital gains of the property. ( Assuming the mortgage was voluntarily created by the present owner of the property).
Also whether the bank sells the property after attachment or the owner himself sells, there is no change in capital gains impact. If the bank realises more than what is due to it it is legally bound to return it to the owner. The sale consideration alone willbe considered for calculating capital gains.
